What’s going on here?

I once heard someone say that “no offense, but…” really means “you will be offended, and…” It’s a rather brilliant insight. So, with that in mind, vilkommen, bienvenue, welcome.

There will be no cabaret here. However, there may (and likely will) be:

– snark

– sarcasm

– political incorrectness

– rambling

– film/tv criticism

– tangents

– musings of the cognoscenti and/or the literari and/or those who fall into the exact opposite categories of the aforementioned categories

– geekery

– romantic counsel

– things that will bunch your panties, twist your knickers, get your shorts in a knot

– popular culture

– unpopular culture

– -isms and anti-isms

– that which my father would refer to as romantic and/or philosophical bullshit

– recipes

– recreational mockery

– one-sided admiration societies

– the occasional musical interlude (Okay, so the cabaret thing is not out of the question.)

We shall try to avoid/minimize:

– political endorsements

– nudity (mine or that of anyone I know, at least without permission)

– poor grammar

– actually intentionally offending (but will not make blanket avoidance of that which might, maybe, possibly offend)

– to be continued if anything else comes up, but those seem like a good, solid start.

Just for fun, let’s add one of those swanky little disclaimers we’re all so fond of:

Everything I think, say, and write is my own opinion and subject to intense debate, review, and change. Including the above list. Oh, and this is all in good fun. I hate that I have to specify that. I blame society. I’m going to go eat chocolate now…

…okay, I’m back. Are we all in understanding? All right, then. Away we go.
